Residents raise beach-safety and yard-waste concerns as town shifts Public Works priorities
Summary
Residents reported beachgoers and pets getting cuts and urged signage; officials said meter-installation work required by USDA will temporarily shift Public Works priorities and that yard-waste pickup schedules will be revisited at the next meeting. A recent survey generated 72 responses on service priorities.
During public comment, resident Bob Bergner said a friend and three grandchildren left the beach with cuts on their feet and urged a warning sign at the beach. "All of them came out with cuts on their feet," Bergner said, and asked the commission to consider signage to warn of oyster shells, rocks, or debris.
Commissioners said they will examine the matter. They also explained that because water-meter installations are on a USDA timetable and crews will be redeployed to meet that deadline, some yard-waste and bulk pickups may be paused or the schedule adjusted. The chair noted 72 people responded to a recent survey and said staff will revisit pickup schedules at the next meeting.
